Noise reduction is commercially available in many forms but sadly, it is difficult to find noise reduction solutions that don’t create new problems.  It is typical in our experience to see noise reduction applications that degrade quality, replacing one type of artifact with another.

Lowry Digital’s advanced digital image processing gives us a wide range of control over grain and video noise levels in pictures.  Our grain and noise management technology can deliver the cleanest finished programming without the typical artifacts that distract from the storytelling and can enable the highest quality compression.

For Restorations:
Optical copying over time adds grain and noise resulting in elements that are far removed in quality from their original presentation.  Our grain and noise management technology can return those pictures to their original levels of film grain or video noise.  The result is:

• Pictures that are historically accurate
• Pictures that deliver the highest quality viewing experience
• Pictures that survive compression for packaged media and broadcast

For New Productions:
Budgets often force filmmakers to use low-cost cameras and scaled down lighting packages.  This can result in distracting levels of noise and artifact laden broadcasts and DVDs.  Higher budget movies often combine 35mm, HD video and computer graphics in their storytelling.  Each of these has different noise levels, and must be balanced for a consistent look.  Our grain and noise management technology can:

• Balance disparate capture elements, giving a consistent look throughout
• Provide appropriate levels of noise and grain for film, video and Dcinema
• Insure the highest quality compression
